Inspired by the rugged work clothes worn by ranchers and opal miners in the Australian outback, this cotton canvas jacket will stand up to even the most adventurous travel. The double-weave cotton resists snags, and has a broken-in softness from day one. Six pockets allow plenty of room to securely carry all you need in town or on the trail. The elasticized waistband and wrists keep the cold out, and the soft poly lining wicks away moisture. Leather collar.

Please read the label about washing this jacket before you come in contact with something lighter in color. The dye rubs off very easily. Otherwise, this is a very nice, comfortable jacket.

Pocket are poorly designed ... awkward to access and shallow. But worse yet is the lining that bleeds. They recommended washing the jacket before using it and I did, but the thing bled on itself and was permanently stained before I ever used it. Would rather have my money back - versatile as a "knock about" but not impressed overall.

All the good characteristics I have listed (pros) describe this jacket. In addition, I like the elasticized cuffs and waistband, giving the jacket a trim look to the torso and adding to warmth. The color is good; not too bright but still more than a beige. I also like the leather collar. Plenty of pockets help with utility and the lining is good. The jacket is a little expensive, but you get what you pay for.

From National Geographic:Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize that this item did not live up to expectations. Our customer service department has followed up.

This jacket replaces one that I love and have worn for years, and it does a good job at it. The color and style caught my eye in the catalog, and I was not disappointed when it arrived. It displays that rugged Aussie style without going overboard, and the quality is second to none. Glad I bought it.
